दानपात्रापात्र-निर्णयः / Determining Worthy Gifts, Recipients, and Permissible Food
प्रियार्थमपि चैतेषां ब्राह्मणानां महात्मनाम् । नियोगादस्य च गुरोव्यासस्यथामिततेजस:
priyārtham api caiteṣāṁ brāhmaṇānāṁ mahātmanām | niyogād asya ca guro vyāsasyāmita-tejasaḥ ||
ان عظیم النفس برہمنوں کی خوشنودی کے لیے بھی تمہیں ان کی بات ماننی چاہیے۔ اور بے پایاں جلال والے استاد ویاس کے حکم کی تعمیل میں، ہم خیرخواہوں اور دروپدی کو مسرور کرو، اور تمام جہان کی بھلائی کے کام میں لگ جاؤ۔
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
A ruler should honor the counsel of virtuous Brahmins and obey the directive of a legitimate guru (here, Vyāsa), prioritizing actions that please well-wishers and serve the welfare of the wider world rather than personal anger or narrow interest.
Vāyudeva addresses a king, urging him to accept the request of noble Brahmins and to follow Vyāsa’s instruction—acting in a way that brings satisfaction to allies and to Draupadī, and turning his effort toward the common good.
